With what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What is the inverse of f(x) = e^x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You should ask Hartnn. Why you lookin at me?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
points: (0,1) (0,-3)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(im not sure whether I need two points or just one by the way)

hartnn (hartnn):
the inverse of exponential function is ln function
so inverse of e^x is ln |x|.
hartnn (hartnn):
why do u need points for?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(x)=e^x
y=e^x
NOW, INTERCHANGE x and y..........
x=e^y
lnx=lne^y
lnx=y
THUS, inverse function of f(x)=e^x is |dw:1346944858716:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ANd remember to give the range

so the inverse of f(x) = e^x can be plotted in the calculator as y = ln(x) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hello? : (
OpenStudy (mathmate):
yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
awesome thank you!!

Do you know how to write y = ln(x) in exponential form?
hartnn (hartnn):
can your calculator plot graphs ??!
if yes,then plot the inverse as y=ln |x|.
hartnn (hartnn):
y= ln |x| is log form
x=e^y is exponential form.,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
makes sense, indeed works on calculator!!

Can I ask just one more question> ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The question says, "Evaluate the inverse function y = ln(x) for x=1 and x=e."
What does it mean by 'EVALUATE'?
hartnn (hartnn):
evalute means put x=1 in y= ln|x| and find y.
similarly then put x=e.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ln(1) equals 0 according to my calculator.. so, for x = 1, the answer is y = 0?
Am i on the right direction?
hartnn (hartnn):
yup,go ahead

y = ln(e) is y = 1?
hartnn (hartnn):
correct as ln |e|=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
youre amazoing thank you!
best response :)
hartnn (hartnn):
thanks and welcome :)
